OK, im new to linux... i just installed LINUX on my old machine which is like 500 - 600mhz, well the linux i installed is "Lindows" and im a Counter-Stike player and i have read alot of articles with insturctions on installing CS on LINUX, well first i have to download WINEHQ and when i went to the site i got to the downloads section and it had: Slackware, Red Hat, Debian, Suse, Mandrake, FreeBSD.. i cant post the link =/ well its winehq.com and click on downloads then it asks me which one i got, well lindows isnt on the list. So does that mean i cant get WineHQ? or can i? sorry and please excuse my newbiness its my first time using LINUX.
You can always download the source but WINEX (www.transgaming.com)is better for games than WINE, you can download the CVS for free, follow their instructions on the site
The Wine for Debian may work for you. If not, you will have to get the source code and compile it. Doesn't Lindows have the Click-n-run for you to get Wine?
yea, it does, umm when i get home i'll check but i doubt they have it. But Thanks for Help and yea im just 15 and im new to linux =/ so execuse the newbiness. And no i dont know how to compile source codes either.

Rep:
heres the universal compile:
cd the_unzipped_directory
./configure
make
su -c make\ install
for wine, add make depend before make but after ./configure. also, if it complains about not finding a fake c drive, download this tool, which, along with many other things, installs it for you. you can find it here: http://frankscorner.org
its called WineTools.
